#385 BILL O'REILLY
RIGHT-WING PUNDIT
I really thought I had listed this guy, who has more viewers on Fox Not the News than anyone to his show 'The O'Reilly Factor.' On May 5, 2010, the Cable News Rating Archives had him at 2.8 million viewers, which sounds great but is actually far behind the networks.
Billo regularly gets nailed by Keith Olbermann of 'Countdown,' on his 'Worst Person in the World' segment, or at least he DID until the bigwigs at NBC forced Olbermann to cool it. Another nemesis is Sen. Al Franken of Minnesota, a guy who put O'Reilly on the cover of his book "Lies and the Lying Liars Who Tell Them." O'Reilly was furious at the cover, and demanded that Fox Not the News sue Franken overseas, where libel laws are a bit looser.
Lawyers for Fox Not the News tried to reason with Billo, but Franken had him practically slobbering with fury everytime he passed the windows of a bookstore. O'Reilly insisted and the suit was thrown out of court in record time, with the presiding judge inadvertently giving Fox Not The News what Franken said should be it's new motto: 'wholly without merit.' Then to top it all off, Franken got elected to the U.S. Senate. Billo went almost crazy, displaying a graphic of Sen. Franken that identified him as 'Pinhead.' Franken, in turn, sent Billo a nice fruit basket with a photo included of Franken displaying a HUGE shit-eating grin.
